Chapter 238 The Inspector's Purpose!
He really didn't expect that the person in front of him was the extremely mysterious First Master of the Lotus Pavilion!
It should be noted that even Li Piaomiao, who joined Lotus Pavilion earlier, had never met this mysterious Pavilion Master!
Moreover, the other party has now revealed an even more unfamiliar identity to him: the Holy Domain Inspector!
This proves that this person is indeed from the Supreme Holy Dao Palace!
"Hehe, just an ordinary envoy, nothing special. Have a seat!" The young master waved his hand and laughed self-deprecatingly.
Gu Jiancheng took a deep breath and then sat down opposite him.
But he was still pondering why this important figure from the Supreme Holy Palace had chosen to meet him at this time.
Gu Jiancheng's divine eyes swept over the inspector in front of him. He was handsome with black hair like a waterfall, but it seemed that every strand of hair was bathed in a dazzling holy light. A golden mark flashed between his eyebrows. He sat there like an immortal who had transcended the mortal world!
What made Gu Jiancheng even more alarmed was that even though the inspector was right in front of him, his divine eyes couldn't see anything at all.
His entire being seemed to exist as if he didn't exist!
This is absolutely terrifying.
"Hehe, don't bother looking. If you really want to know something, I'll tell you." But the inspector seemed to see through Gu Jiancheng's thoughts and asked directly.
"This junior had no intention of offending you, but I don't know why you summoned me here, senior?" Upon hearing this, Gu Jiancheng withdrew his divine eyes.
The difference in cultivation level between him and the other party was simply too great; there was no point in even looking.
"Haha, it's nothing really. Have some tea. This tea is quite good; I brought it from the Dao Palace. You won't find it in the Holy Domain!"
But the inspector raised his hand, held up a closed folding fan, and pushed a cup of tea toward him.
Without any doubt or hesitation, Gu Jiancheng picked up the glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Um! ?
But the next moment, Gu Jiancheng's expression suddenly changed.
Because what looks like just a cup of tea, once it enters the mouth, the terrifying energy surges into the body like a raging river, impacting every bone!
In less than a breath, his cultivation level directly entered the mid-stage of the Dao Integration Realm!
Breaking through to a higher realm in an instant!?
What kind of tea is this that has such effects?!
It should be noted that Gu Jiancheng consumed a great deal of energy and time to advance even a small realm.
"How is it?" the inspector asked with a smile.
"It is indeed fine tea, thank you very much, senior!" Gu Jiancheng put down his teacup and cupped his hands in thanks.
This is something I should definitely thank you for, since it's practically a greeting gift, and it's not a small one.
"Hahaha, that's for sure. After all, this was refined with a trace of Saint King Qi. Even within the Dao Palace, you would have a hard time getting your hands on such a drink!"
The inspector laughed.
"The aura of a Holy King?" Gu Jiancheng gasped upon hearing this.
He had heard of these three words before. The reason why the Supreme Holy Dao Palace could control the three holy lands was because it possessed the Holy King Qi necessary for advancing to the Holy King level.
Now, he's actually getting to drink tea made with the aura of a holy king ahead of time!?
"Hehe, don't worry about it, it's just a trace of the aura of a Holy King."
"The first reason I summoned you here was to see what kind of outstanding human being who helped me so much in the Ruins of Return was all about. Now that I've seen you, it's clear that Xuanji's praise of you was well-deserved!"
"Not to mention in this Holy Domain, even in the Supreme Holy Palace, you are absolutely a prodigy!" the inspector said again.
"Is that so? The younger generation of the Supreme Saint Dao Palace shouldn't be that weak, right?" Gu Jiancheng raised an eyebrow.
These words caused an embarrassment to appear on the inspector's forehead, who thought to himself that Gu Jiancheng was really not modest!
But Gu Jiancheng wasn't actually arrogant; he never took his peers from the Holy Domain seriously.
Therefore, they naturally disdain comparing themselves to the prodigies of the holy land.
"The Dao Palace is full of talented individuals, but I have high hopes for you."
"To be honest, the purpose of this Heavenly Pride Tournament, besides testing the level of evil cultivation techniques practiced by the prodigies of the three holy lands, is actually more important to take you to the Dao Palace!"
The inspector suddenly became serious.
"Thank you for your guidance, senior!" Gu Jiancheng cupped his hands again, then waited for the other party to explain.
He was curious to know what this guy was trying to say.
"Haha, I only cherish talent. It's actually a waste for you to stay in the Holy Domain."
"But if you want to enter the Holy Dao Palace for cultivation, there are a total of twenty spots. I can directly give you ten spots to the Taiji Sect, but the requirements, Xuanji should have told you, right?" the inspector asked.
"I told you, we must do everything we can to force those holy sons and daughters to use evil magic, and at the same time, we must take the top spot." Gu Jiancheng nodded.
"That's right, so I will try to make the rules as challenging as possible, but I believe you are capable of handling them."
"By the way, let me also see your true fighting strength. Don't misunderstand me then."
“Of course not.” Gu Jiancheng nodded.
It turns out that the inspector came to give himself a heads-up.
Even if I've shown some talent, is it really necessary to take it this seriously?
"That's good. Now I'll tell you the third reason I summoned you."
Then the inspector leaned down and said seriously, "You don't know, this Prodigy Competition is actually held not only in this Holy Domain."
"Meanwhile, in both the Demon Realm and the Monster Realm, inspectors are also holding a Prodigy Tournament!"
"The Demon Realm and the Monster Realm also have them?" Gu Jiancheng's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.
This was something he hadn't known before, and even Jiang Hongyi hadn't told him!
"Hehe, that's right, and it was decided ten days ago, while you knew about it a month ago."
"Therefore, this Heavenly Pride Competition is not as simple as it seems."
"My third purpose, which I can also tell you directly, is that after you enter the Holy Dao Palace to cultivate, I need you to go to a place for me."
"As for where it is, I will tell you after you enter the Dao Palace, but I can guarantee that I will not harm you, and in fact, it will be a great opportunity for you!"
The inspector said mysteriously.
"A place!?"
"Is it indispensable to me?"
Gu Jiancheng frowned.
"That's right, I need newcomers, even Xuanji is not acceptable!"
"So, I'm betting everything on you this time, so don't let me down!" The inspector nodded.
"Okay, sure." Gu Jiancheng thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement, though he didn't know what the inspector was up to.
"That's good!"
"In that case, I have nothing more to do. Go and make your preparations." Immediately, the inspector smiled, waved his hand, and Gu Jiancheng appeared outside the room.
And the Holy Maiden Xuanji had also disappeared.
Gu Jiancheng took one last deep look at the room before leaving.
At this moment, the Holy Maiden Xuanji appeared in front of the Inspector.
“My lady, Gu Jiancheng is indeed quite good in the Holy Domain, but if you choose him to go there, isn’t that a bit too much…” Saintess Xuanji frowned.
"Hehe, Xuanji, actually, after meeting Gu Jiancheng, my opinion of him is much higher than yours!"
The inspector, holding his teacup, suddenly laughed and said, "You don't know yet, but Gu Jiancheng just drank a cup of my sacred tea, and his cultivation only broke through a minor realm!"
"Even for a holy son of a sacred land, this cup of tea can at least allow him to break through to the semi-saint realm!"
"What!? Just breaking through a minor realm!?" Upon hearing this, the Holy Maiden Xuanji couldn't help but look shocked.
"Does Your Excellency mean that Gu Jiancheng's Qi Sea is terrifyingly vast!?"
“That’s right, even I, a Saint King, couldn’t see through Gu Jiancheng. If I don’t keep him firmly in my hands, would I let other old guys in the Dao Palace benefit from him?!” As the inspector’s voice fell, the mark between his eyebrows suddenly turned into a third eye and opened!
